A Year In My Kitchen

'In memory of our beautiful mother, we wanted to republish her first book, A Year in my Kitchen, which this year celebrates its 20th anniversary. Launching this book was a huge milestone in her career, and she was immensely proud of it. To us and to so many others it has become a bible: filled with the recipes we grew up with and continue to cook for ourselves and the people we love. We hope it becomes a staple in your kitchen too, and that you think of her when you toss a salad, cook for friends, or remember that almost everything is better with a generous knob of butter.' Evie Henderson and Holly Gore‘Between these covers is what Skye did so superbly – understated food of deep flavour and quiet elegance.’ Nigel Slater‘Sorely missed, gone too soon. At least we have Skye’s beautifully considered A Year in my Kitchen to bolster memories of wonderful cooking and dishes at the very heart of so much of what Skye loved. ' Jeremy Lee‘Skye not only made the food I wanted to eat, she wrote the recipes I wanted to cook, and then put them on the plate in a simple and extraordinarily beautiful way.’ Claire PtakTwenty years since its original publication, rediscover why this award-winning cookbook became an instant classic. First published in 2006, A Year In My Kitchen consolidated the already remarkable reputation of its author, the late Skye Gyngell, as a truly inspirational figure. As chef of the Michelin-starred Petersham Nurseries Café and then of Spring at Somerset House, Skye had a refreshingly original approach to cooking. This new edition of A Year in My Kitchen celebrates her life and work, with a foreword by Nigel Slater. Skye’s secret was 'not to mess with good ingredients – just to turn the volume up'. The recipes in the book are an absolute treasure trove of dishes especially created to make the most of ingredients at their seasonal best. Skye’s enthusiasm for great-tasting food is conveyed on every page, providing a constant source of inspiration.
